Google’s AI Mode is finally going global, breaking past English and reaching users in five new native languages.
AI Mode now supports five international languages

For the first time, users in Brazil, Japan, South Korea, India, and Indonesia can access AI Mode in their native tongue. Google Search’s built-in chatbot now speaks Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Indonesian, and Brazilian Portuguese. That’s a long-awaited shift for users outside the English-speaking bubble.
Global rollout follows steady push from Google
AI Mode had been available in over 180 countries, but only in English. After expanding in the US, UK, and India earlier this year, the timing now lines up with Google’s promise to scale its AI tools faster than ever.
Gemini 2.5 gives the new search real teeth
Google’s updated AI experience is powered by its custom Gemini 2.5 Pro model. It brings smarter reasoning, sharper responses, and deeper context awareness to local queries.
Here’s what the upgrade delivers:
- Multimodal input for more intuitive search
- Better answers in local languages
- Region-aware Deep Search features
- Smarter follow-ups based on cultural context
- Voice input in supported languages
Some publishers aren’t thrilled
While Google paints a rosy picture of steady web traffic, a recent court filing tells a different story. It states the “open web is already in rapid decline.” With AI Mode answering more questions directly, fewer users may click through to publisher websites.
AI Mode shift isn’t small, it’s structural
Google isn’t just translating its tools; it’s retooling the entire search experience around AI. With AI Mode now multilingual, it’s clear the company sees generative results, not blue links, as the future. And for better or worse, that future just got a lot closer.
